Robotic Surgical Controls Having Feedback Capabilities

2. The control system of claim 1, further comprising a proximity detection system configured to detect a distance between the surgical tool and the tissue, wherein the gross input control motion is ignored by the control circuit when the distance between the surgical tool and the tissue is less than a threshold distance.

3. The control system of claim 1, wherein the first zone and the second zone comprise concentric zones, and wherein the first zone is surrounded by the second zone.

5. The control system of claim 1, wherein the input control device further comprises a detent arrangement positioned to provide tactile feedback to a user of the input control device when the user applies the gross input control motion to move the forearm support from the first zone to the second zone.

6. The control system of claim 1, wherein the feedback generator is embedded in the forearm support.

7. The control system of claim 1, wherein the input control device further comprises a shaft extending distally from the forearm support, and wherein the feedback generator is embedded in the shaft.
